Wow, they claim to have had more than 3.5 million downloads since 2003. I have never even heard of this editor before. Does anyone here use it?

- joshsharp 17y agoUsed it for ages, it worked better than TinyMCE back in the early days (though I think they're probably equal now.) Interestingly, I swear FCK was the creator's initials - I wonder if the app's name change is a reflection of a name change on his behalf? ;)
- davecardwell 17y agoThere is a “notes on the new name” section on the linked article: “For years we have been fighting with a relatively important issue with FCKeditor. While its quality has been strongly accepted, its name brought us troubles, mainly inside English speaking countries. The fact is that the initials of Frederico Caldeira Knabben have an unfortunate match with the most used English bad word.”
- vivekamn 17y agoYes, we do at www.bharatmoms.com and of all the rich text editors(js based) we tried, this worked out to be the best.
- revorad 17y agoWow, you run an online community for mothers in India? Very interesting stuff. Didn't expect such a thing to exist. How's the site coming along?
- slater 17y agoIt's fairly popular as a "drop-in" wysiwyg editor in custom-made CMSes, afaik.
- wlievens 17y agoI used it in a website for a customer.
- whalesalad 17y agoIt used to be called FCKEditor, which is used on a lot of big sites such as pbworks.com (which was also formerly known as pbwiki)
- Ras_ 17y agoWell, it's been available for quite some time as a MediaWiki (also dokuwiki etc.) plugin, so I don't doubt those numbers.

- prawn 17y agoYeah, we use it on a fair few client sites. Works pretty well but sometimes struggles a bit with pasted Word content (but most things do).
